The video has received over 34,000 dislikes compared to around 8,300 likes with the comments section filled with passionately negative reactions.

“If you took a list of everything I wanted in a new star wars series…this would have none of that in it. What even is this?” posted one viewer.

Another said: “I honestly don’t understand. It seems like a show that’s aimed at kids, but if that’s the case, why will it be broadcast at 10 p.m.?”

There’s resistance to Star Wars Resistance

A number of people have taken issue with what they say see as a too childish quality of the trailer, which centres on characters a few months before the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

It follows Kazuda Xiono, a pilot recruited by Poe Dameron and the Resistance to spy on the growing threat of the First Order.

Another issue is the animation’s aesthetic. One person suggested it looked like it was made in “Microsoft Paint” while another compared it to South Park: “Is this a joke? SouthPark’s animation is better than this.”
